Benefits Of Equine Bone And Joint Support

By Stephen Baker


As human beings become of great age, they develop limitations on functionality and impairments in mobility, animals too are no different either, the scathing sword of aging spares none among the two species and just like humans require the benefit of physical therapy and Equine Bone and Joint Support, even so, animal requires a like service named equine physical therapy.

These all have resulted in increased benefits to pet parents and their pets. Obviously, since the fields operational procedures differ, thus do the benefits. Here this article focuses on the benefits brought about the practice of pet physical rehabilitation and therapy. And all though not all are or might be listed, carefulness has been practice in including the most essential of benefits.

Quick recovery from injury: human seem to all have the propensity to thirst for a quick fix solution, it seems to be a cultural need, physical therapy satisfies this in that in most case after just an initial visit the pet starts showing early signs of recovery from the injury, swollen limbs, or immobile limbs. Exercises such as hydrotherapy help pets exercise that limb that might not have been used since the injury.

It s composed of techniques like hydrotherapy, agility trials and activities like flyball, a sport that foists therapy on horses. It is not just beneficial for the civilians alone, for even government agencies as Law enforcement use horses in searches and rescue, they re essentially part of the police and rescue teams, and they too can vastly benefit from equine physical therapy.

Improved Endurance and agility; an injury can reduce how long a horse can endure a task as natural as walking. Physical equine therapy exercises like laying down the horse on its back having its trunk up, stretching it s front and rear limbs back and forth in motions that mimic its normal movements, can help resuscitate activities that wearing reaching a state of being dormant in the horse s life.

Light Massage: this helps in reducing muscle spasms, increase blood circulation and enhance muscle tone. You conduct it by laying down your horse on its back and gently rub and massage each major group of muscles. Begin with the shoulders and front limbs, progress going toward the hind end all till the rear limbs.

The animal s agility gets reduced after this since there s loss of muscle control, stability in joints is decreased and the tendons get increasingly stiffened. One of the purposes of the therapy is to mitigate this. In techniques like hydrotherapy, which involves training done in a pool of water, horses exercise their natural functional activities like walking and running on an underwater treadmill.

Prevention of disease, injury and neurological sickness; a healthy practice always results in a healthy life; this is true of both mammals and humans. Pets that usually go for walks, exercise, and experience mental stimulation tend to live healthier and have a longer lifespan more than those that do none of the exercises.
